Section 1620.360  Investigations Not Concluded Within Six Months

a)         Should an Executive Inspector General not complete the final report as described in Section 1620.300(c)(12) within 6 months after opening an investigation file as described in Section 1620.300(c)(4)(B), the Executive Inspector General shall, on the 15^th day of the following month, submit a report to the Commission.  The report shall indicate the investigation's unique tracking number, the date the investigation began, a description of the nature of the alleged misconduct and reasons for the delay in concluding the investigation.  If an ultimate jurisdictional authority is a subject of the investigation reported under this Section, the EIG shall inform the Commission separately of this fact.

b)         The Executive Inspector General shall continue to report each investigation not concluded within 6 months on the 15^th day of each month in accordance with subsection (a) until the investigation has been concluded.  Each monthly report shall contain a personal verification by the EIG stating: "I have read this report and after thorough examination I believe that this report contains a complete and accurate listing of all investigations required by 2 Ill. Adm. 1620.360(a)."

c)         Should the Commission find that the information provided in the reports from the Executive Inspector General is insufficient to determine whether a Special Executive Inspector General should be appointed in accordance with Section 20-21 of the Act [5 ILCS 430/20-21], the Commission may request additional information from the Executive Inspector General or may direct the Executive Inspector General to provide the Commission a complete copy of any investigation file.  Under such circumstances, the Commission deems the EIG's disclosure of the additional information to the Commission to be "necessary" as provided at 5 ILCS 430/20-95(d).
